✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read school website, MSAR, and SDN interview feedback.

What impressed you positively?

The students I met were OUTSTANDING people. Seems to be a high level of clinical experience and engagement in underserved communities in Detroit. Co-curricular programs that incorporate service learning, lectures, seminars, etc. Really sophisticated recording system for recording classes/lectures. Seems like there's lots of scholarship money available.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

My interviewer was NOT directly affiliated with the medical school (worked with undergraduates). If I had known this was a possibility, I would have prepared more questions about living in Detroit, Wayne State in general, etc. rather than very specific questions about the medical school programs.

What are your general comments?

Didn't expect to be super impressed, but I LOVED it.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

More information on financial aid would have been nice (e.g. an optional financial aid info session, opportunity to meet with a financial aid counselor).
